5 Things You Want to Do Before You Get Old

Honestly, I have so many things that I want to do before I get old but here are the five things that I really want to accomplish.


1. I want to learn how to sew. 

I can do some basic stitches just enough to fix clothes, mend a torn seam and sew a button or sequin on fabric. But I want to improve my sewing skills and make my own clothes, bed sheets, pillowcases, and curtains.

I remember when I was in high school one of our projects is to make a blouse and short but I don’t know how to sew. My classmates told me that their moms made their project but my mom was not with me so I went to my “suking mananahi”, I gave her my design, blouse and skort (skirt in front/short at the back). The finished product was so good and it is very obvious that I did not make my project so my teacher just gave me 85. Hehe!


2. I want to learn how to swim and dive.

We love to go to the beach and pool but I’m not an expert swimmer so I always rely on lifevest. I told you before that I did not learn anything from my P.E. swimming class, blame it to the rainy season. But I hope someday, I can swim and dive like a pro.

3. I want to learn how to drive.

We bought our first family car last 2007 when we found out that I was pregnant. I promised myself that I will enroll in driving school after I gave birth but it didn’t happen. We sold the first car then our second car and now we’re using the new one and I still don’t know how to drive. I’m still scared. Hehe!

4. I want to have my own business 

Now that I’m a full-time mom for four years, I don’t know if I can still go back to the corporate world so I want to have my own business but until now I’m still clueless on which business I want to pursue.

5. RTW (Round the World) 

I mentioned before that when I was young, I want to be a flight attendant because I want to travel and see the world. Tourism is one of my choices when I was applying for college but I did not pursue it. I accepted the fact that I cannot be a flight attendant, blame it to my height. If money is not an issue, I would love to travel around the world but if there is no budget I can travel around the Philippines.

  2. 1, 2, 3 are very attainable... #1 you can enroll in TESDA, #2 and #3 - your hubby can teach you. you need to know how to drive coz your hubby will not be always there to drive you and ethan everywhere, especially pag may emergencies and he's nowhere near you. Go go go!

  11. Start learning how to drive na, Michi! It's a great feeling. Lalo na when driving on a stretch of clear, no-traffic road. So relaxing.

    I'll let you in on a secret. I almost quit in the middle of my driving lessons because I almost rammed a dog while practicing (thank God that doggy was ok. Just a little sacred din like me.) So for a few weeks, I stopped. Told my tito, who was my driving instructor, that I needed a break for a while. But then I read about this girl (foreigner sya. Can't remember her nationality) in the newspaper who was a paraphlegic (no limbs!) but she drives a racecar and is even a professional pilot. That got me thinking, if she who was clearly at a disadvantage could do it, why couldn't I, with complete limbs available, do it too?

    I never looked back since. And I'm so thankful now that I know how to drive. Iba na rin kasi yung merong 2 drivers at home for emergency. =)

    P.S. It also helped that I bought a car na rin before even learning how to drive. Sayang din yun a! Heheheh! =)

  15. hello, good morning you have a weighty list!
    sewing is not my thing, pagtahi lang ng napunit kong pants or t-shirt ayayay...i'm so lazy doing it hahaha
    i also wanted to be a flight stewardess...my dream since i was a kid, after college last year i applied for the job at cebu pacific, unfortunately i am not qualified - we were 30 applicants and only 4 pass, i think height is not anymore an issue, they really look for girls who are pretty and snowy skin
